spot the gems

Bit different this time ,has we are in printed paper territory,this was an auction lot in a local auction and i was viewing online ,glancing quickly from lot to to lot i just thought some modern catalogues and mica mags but later i looked again and saw a couple of oldy gems sticking out also look at the mica? magazines turned out to be a really good lot,even the auction porter said so,(there was a tube not in the picture with a boxed matchbox collectors van,poster,licence ,stickers pin badge etc all mint! )

UK matchbox, not MICA, and look to be in a binder?

Looks like that might be a full set of UK Matchbox magazines. (Volume 3 is htf, whilst volumes 1 and 2 are borderline rare.)

Exactly,i have a box full of mica mags and assumed these were what these were,but turned out to be the harder to find uk matchbox collectors club ones

The letters are a great catch!

Heres a couple of yesteryear items out the box ,a flyer for i think the first yy calender,and another flyer for some early code threes,and still no guesses at the gems?

I have the calendar advert, which is from 1980 by Stuart's Marketing & Advertising. As far as I'm aware, It was nothing to do with the Major Models issues, the first of which appeared in 1984. I've tried to track down a produced Stuart's example with no success.
